COVID and THANKSGIVING

[T. A. Gardner]

How can a person make an informed decision when the President of the United States uses all of his powers to both hide information and deliberately spread misinformation?

Trump is still doing it along with sowing misinformation about the election.

I don't know about you but I don't get my information from the President (or any other idiot politician) on stuff 99.5% of the time...

I was at a karaoke party last night. Chips, all kinds of food and drinks. Yea, no one cancelling thanksgiving in my circle. F dat.


Blessings

You think the information from President Trump is unreliable? What are you top three sources of information?

I think the information from politicians is unreliable. Come on, they lie to get in office, lie to stay in office, why would you expect them to suddenly tell you the truth in between?

When it comes to COVID the experts have not been much better.

Why don't you protest by catching COVID and spreading it to all the Left Wing Loonies you know?

My SIL has cancer and is going through Chemo. Being cautious about catching COVID is to protect her. We'll know before Thanksgiving if the cancer is terminal or not. My wife has been caring for her and trying to limit her contact with others since COVID would probably kill her before the cancer does.

Thanksgiving will be limited to my wife, SIL, her son and his GF, all of whom do follow good precautions. I'm cooking and will spatchcock a Turkey with green bean casserole, mashed potatoes (SIL's favorite over sweet potatoes) and canned whole cranberries. The wife will bake a pumpkin pie or two.

I’m sorry about your wife’s sister. I hope you have a miracle for her and good news to be thankful for Thanksgiving Day.

Thanks. She's been under chemo for two months(?) and will have a CAT scan on Thursday. It should tell the tale. The doctors are generally not hopeful.

No disagreement there. OTOH, some politicians are more honest than others. Agencies, when allowed to do their jobs, are more reliable since they more concerned with completing their mission than running for office.

What's the difference between a scientist and an engineer?

Scientists learn more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing while engineers learn less and less about more and more until they know nothing about everything...

Sorry to hear that, I know firsthand how difficult a cancer diagnosis can be. I lost my wife to lung cancer three years ago. Cancer sucks. Especially in these times. I hope you get good news.

And as Heather points out engineers cant lie to themselves....right/wrong is obvious....works/does not work is obvious.

Eggheads at computers lie to themselves all the time now.

And they lie to us all the time now.

I’m so sorry, I feel very grateful to be a survivor.

What is your story?

Just us and a daughter and her wife and grandbaby. We were going to do a family Christmas but my boy who is an officer with the 101st Airborne just cancelled....he has to much to do really high speed cant get COVID....and he does not want us to either.....my wife and I are high risk.

Things are really blowing up here...2 of the last three days have been records, lots of people are dying because it has gotten into a lot of the human warehouses.

Thanksgiving dinner is always a BIG thing with our family.

This year it will be only Nancy and I.

My family lives in California...so they are out of the loop. I have told Nancy's family that I am roasting a small turkey...and will do the stuffing, potatoes, gravy, and green bean casserole. I've told them they are free to ask for a take out from us...which WE will prepare for their pick up. (Hope they do it. The turkeys all seem to be way too big for just two people.)

But their visit to pick up stuff will be limited to 10 minutes or (preferably) less...and will include masks for them and us.

We are surging here in New Jersey...and any kind of large gatherings are just begging for trouble.
